This really need a video with the announcer that does the snuggie commercials, a blonde housewife shaking her head in frustration while holding up a spatula and that sparkle noise that floats across the screen showing me the amazing effects of the product.

love it!!!!!!!!!!! pretty sure that you could sell this (but it's a shame that billy mays is dead because he'd make a great salesman for this lol)

wv is slato.... i can imagine it on a cake made by a wreckerator who was making a cake for someone who had a criminal or driving record removed that was maybe suppose to say "congratulations on your clean slate" but instead they wrote "congradulation on youre cleen slato" bahahahahaha!!!!

I love your blog and have been reading for a couple years now. I always laugh out loud while reading. But today... I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Thanks so much for sharing your hilariosity with us! :)

The fourth cake, though, doesn't have a frosted-out mistake on it. Clearly it's a cake featuring the Tasmanian Devil in "whirling dervish" mode! See all the colorful paper streamers he's kicking up in his wake?

I am not sure if you read all of your comments but I was reading another of my regular blogs & thought that this might interest you. Yes, it's completly about cake. Yes, it is a wreck that you may even want to post (if you're having a slow day, that is. Thank Single Dad Laughing for this interesting wreck of a story!

Could writing with icing be so taxing to the capabilities of wreckerators that spell-checking in real time is out of the question?

I could see Sandra Lee being a major customer of Ice Out, except that she sees nothing wrong with the stuff she 'makes'.

"You know, Sandra, you can tint it to match your decor. And you can add stuff to it, like vanilla. Of course, if you don't have vanilla, just use turpentine -- your vict... er, 'guests' will never know the difference, proles that they are."

The bakery I use to frequent would take the special order cakes that people didn't pick up and sell them by the slice. If a piece said "hday Elizab" that was fine with me. The slices with roses were especially coveted. They made more money selling them by the slice than the whole cake cost. Certainly more than a cake smeared with ICE-OUT.

Hilarious post as always, but the "Elibateh" cake had me concerned that someone with dyslexia is making a living out there decorating cakes. Surely someone out there who has no learning disability and has decent penmanship yet has trouble landing a job in these tough times should be applying for a cake decorating position!!!

word verification: trogulas. Sounds like something that you would need Ice Out to cover up. It also sounds like the name of a character in the failed movie that my friend and I once tried to make, but that's unrelated...

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
